    dinosaurs vs mammals rematch

    Meant to post this last month but forgot.

    “When a major serial killer case is finally solved and all the paperwork completed, police are sometimes amazed at how obvious the killer was and how they were unable to see what was right before their noses.” —Robert D.

    Geese can be large and fierce if bothered, though the ones I've encountered in the Rocky Mountain suburbs are usually calm and acclimated to people passing by. I wonder if the golfer had hit a ball hear its nest?

      Heart warming story in the news yesterday:

      A 93-year-old golfer, Ben Bender, makes his first hole-in-one and decides to stop playing that day.

        In China the goose appears to be revered for its prowess in combat, as it has inspired its own unique martial arts style. In the right hands goosefist kung fu can be a powerful and deadly force.

            Kudos for just taking it. He can always claim he got a birdie on that hole.
            If it had been me the goose would have gone thirty yards down the fairway and ended up in the rough.
            Someone might have said "you shouldn't have done that"
            I would have replied "why? Do you think I should have used a seven iron?"
            I did read about a golf rule concerning bears which went something like:

            If the players ball is stolen by a bear, the player may drop another without penalty.
            If the players manages to retrieve the ball from the bear, they may take automatic par for the hole.

            All the best.

              That's an excellent point, Martin.
